Are you frustrated that your curbside waste hauler leaves so much behind? You know there's a better way to handle those batteries, fluorescent bulbs, glass bottles, and old electronics - but where do you take them?
In the US, it's estimated that 75% of our trash is actually recyclable, yet due to system limitations, we only manage to recycle about 30% of it. That leaves a massive gap between our environmental intentions and our available options.
Leenie Recycles exists to close that gap in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. I provide the missing link: a seamless, reliable weekly pickup for those hard-to-recycle items that don't belong in the trash or your blue bin.
You care about the planet. I make it easy for you to do your part.
At Leenie Recycles, I know the recycling struggle is real. My service was born right here in Sandy Springs out of a deep understanding of what's missing in the current curbside system. I'm led by local expertise - as the Executive Director of Keep North Fulton Beautiful (KNFB), I've seen firsthand how much valuable material our community struggles to recycle. So I'm leveraging that professional insight to solve the recycling gap right here in our neighborhood.
My goal is simple: to make expert, reliable recycling easy for more neighbors.
Your regular waste hauler provides an essential service, but their programs are limited by large processing facilities. Leenie Recycles brings hyper-local, specialized solutions that go far beyond the blue bin:
Material Guarantee: I accept the items your hauler doesn't, like glass, electronics, plastic bags, and scrap metal. I guarantee that these tricky items are properly diverted and not sent to the landfill.
Local, Expert Processing: All collected materials are routed through Keep North Fulton Beautiful. You are ensuring your waste is handled by local experts who care about our community, not massive, for-profit sorting facilities.
Unmatched Convenience: I combine specialized materials with common ones (cardboard, cans) into one easy weekly pickup. You eliminate the need for separate trips and confusing rules.
Zero-Waste Alignment: I help simplify your life while honoring your commitment to less waste, starting with my policy of using upcycled containers and cardboard boxes as Leenie Recycles' Official Container.
This service is focused on collecting materials most standard curbside haulers reject, and I pick up common recyclables for your ultimate convenience:
Aluminum cans, Steel Cans
Cardboard (flattened)
Paper (including junk mail)
Newspaper, Magazines
Plastics #1 and #2 (bottles and containers)
Glass Bottles and Jars
Plastic Bags (grocery bags, dry cleaning bags, bread bags)
Scrap Metal (wires, screws, keys, hardware)
E-Waste (cell phones, cables, cords, cables, mice, chargers)
Books (get donated or recycled)
My zero-waste policy means minimizing the purchase of new bins. I cannot pick up items in your trash hauler's rolling curbside carts.
The Official Container: The official Leenie Recycles container is the cardboard box you already have bound for recycling! This includes Amazon boxes and any other sturdy shipping box or sturdy paper bag.
Need a Box? If you don't have any shipping boxes around to start with, I am happy to provide you with one or two clean, upcycled boxes for your initial pickups.
Other Containers: Feel free to repurpose old plastic storage totes or even laundry baskets for your recyclables. I will simply take the contents and leave your container clean and ready for the next pickup!
